The Wayfarer's Inn

Gaderon suggests "Perhaps we can cross the trap door one at a time using the boots of levitation."

"I think we can follow on Eilkhan's idea. The problem with everyone using the boots is with getting them to the next person to cross."

"Once the person is across it is easy. The first person to cross, has two ropes. One to hold on to while the others cross later and the other to get the boots across in my bag. I am not a genius, far from it but isn't there a way to get the bag across with the other rope. First we make a small lasso and pass the first rope through the lasso. at one end while he other end has the other end of the rope. Anyways we can pull the bag across this way with the boots in the bag. I don't know the whole mechanics but I think you see what I mean.

In theory it should work."

Sol will do whatever is needed to help with the manipulation of the ropes to make the crossing go smoothly...

Kherim bites his lip.
"I still don't see it, I'm afraid."

Sol comments "Well, as I see it, we could just try to throw the boots back to the next person
when one gets across rather than use the rope. The advantage of using the rope is that if we
screwup the throw we won't have to trigger the trap trying to recover the boots, we can just
pull them back and try again. Or maybe I have it wrong..."

Ahi: "Yes, I guess a measly pair of boots won't be enough to trigger the trap. If we tie them and throw we can always pull them anyway."

Your plan is sound and works remarkably well. One by one, you all cross the dangerous area with the help of Gaderon's magical boots and gather on the other side. A bit further up ahead the ramp, you see that it turns right.

Sol whispers "Let's keep going forward to the corner." He will prepare himself mentaly for anything unexpected that might be around the corner...
